The positive news here for fantasy managers is that Varsho’s absence isn’t related to the offseason shoulder procedure. The 28-year-old center fielder will sit out Sunday’s series finale at the Rogers Centre, but figures to have a decent shot at being ready for Tuesday’s showdown against the Angels out in Los Angeles. It’ll be Nathan Lukes shifting over to patrol center field on Sunday with rookie Alan Roden entering the lineup in left field.

Lukes took Luis Castillo deep to give the Jays a 5-0 lead. It’s the second roundtripper of the campaign for the 30-year-old outfielder, and he’s now driven in 11 runs over 54 at-bats. Lukes is a solid real-life fourth outfielder, but that doesn’t translate into much fantasy optimism.

Barger blistered the ball all night, and his three hits came with exit velocities of 116.5, 113.4 and 109.7 mph. The 25-year-old has hit the ball hard for most of the year, but the results just haven’t been there. They were Friday night to see his slash improve to .222/.286/.356. There’s more upside in Barger’s bat than fantasy managers might give him credit for.

Hoffman struck out three without allowing a hit, but didn’t strike out the side as one of those strikeouts came with a dropped third strike. Still, it was a nice bounceback for the right-hander after he gave up six runs and only getting two total outs in his last two chances. Hoffman has been solid in 2025 outside of those blips, and now has eight saves on the 2025 campaign.

Buxton’s fantastic season rolls on. He started this game with a triple that he roped into the right-center field gap and blazed around the bases like few in the league can. He’s been a true engine atop the Twins’ lineup with nine home runs, seven stolen bases, and an .872 OPS.

The homer was a two-run shot off Aaron Nola. Martínez is batting .325/.337/.446 with three steals in 25 games. He’ll probably remain pretty strong in terms of average, but not quite .325 strong, and the power isn’t really there to make him a big factor in fantasy leagues. Stlll, he seems like an upgrade over Lane Thomas for the Guardians.

Sánchez got the Marlins on the board first in this one as he plated Xavier Edwards with an RBI single off of Bryse Wilson before an out had been recorded. He then swiped second base and advanced to third on an error, but the Marlins couldn’t cash him in from there. The 27-year-old outfielder then reached on an infield single in the third inning and again pilfered second base but was stranded there. With his two-hit attack. he’s now hitting .235/.312/.309 with one homer, seven RBI and four stolen bases in his first 19 games.
